Chapter 54 Zhang Chen Causes More Trouble
"What did you say? Xiaoyu was sent away?"
Although Zhang Chen was completely disappointed with Xu Haiyu last time, and was also reprimanded by his uncle, he dared not make any more rash moves.
But after ignoring Xu Haiyu for a while, he couldn't resist going back to her.
But they didn't see Xu Haiyu at all.
I pulled someone aside and asked them a question, and they told me that Xu Haiyu had been sent away overnight yesterday.
"Why? Who sent Xiaoyu away? Isn't Xiaoyu part of our island? Why send her away? Who is so heartless? Would they treat their own family like this? Why is no one on the island stopping them?"
The islander who was pulled aside was speechless after Zhang Chen's question.
"Why don't you look at what Xu Haiyu has done?"
“Zhang Chen, we can all see that you have feelings for Xu Haiyu, but if you really have feelings for her, why don’t you go and propose? Maybe you two will actually get married. Instead of proposing and fulfilling your dream, you meddle in other people’s business. How can you be such a person?”
"You're supposed to be the division commander's nephew, how can you lack even this basic understanding? Do you really think everything you did was to help Xu Haiyu?"
"When you helped Xu Haiyu lie, did you ever think about what would happen if Xin Li was falsely accused?"
"It's shameful that you're slandering an innocent person like this!"
"You!" Zhang Chen's eyes widened. "How could you talk to me like that?"
Zhang Chen has always been highly respected because he is the only doctor on the island.
Even if people have a quarrel, they will give in to him because of his medical skills.
Over time, Zhang Chen also developed a sense of superiority.
He thought he would continue like this forever, but who knew that after Xinli came, his status on the island would plummet.
These islanders even started hurling insults at him.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that this Xinli is capable of using witchcraft?
Why are they all starting to side with her?
"Why wouldn't we dare? We've paid you for your medical treatment. Besides, don't you know that the clinic on our island is almost finished? I heard that the division commander plans to invite someone to oversee our clinic. Then our island will have its own hospital."
“We have indeed been receiving treatment from you all along, but you have also charged us a lot of money. Sometimes we even have to put up with your attitude. Treating patients and saving lives is a doctor’s job. We pay you for your treatment, and we’re getting free services from you. Why should we be treated like inferiors?”
"I couldn't stand you anymore a long time ago."
Zhang Chen's eyes widened.
"A clinic is going to be built on our island?"
"It's not that it's going to be built, it's that it's already been built."
The islander shook his head, looking at Zhang Chen with disdain: "You spend all day in your room fiddling with your herbs, of course you don't know what's going on outside. If you went out more, you would know that the clinic is actually on the east side of the island."
Zhang Chen took two steps back in disbelief.
"No, no, no, how could this be..."
Why didn't my uncle tell me this before?
The islanders found Zhang Chen's reaction a bit strange: "Why should I tell you? Having a health clinic doesn't really concern you."
"People who like to see you for treatment will still go, and some people who think the clinic is too far away will also come to you."
"It's not a bad thing to have more places to see a doctor on the island. Wouldn't that be a good thing for all of us?"
"Good news—"
Zhang Chen wanted to get angry, but when he met the islander's eyes, which were full of doubt, he swallowed the word "fart" back.
This is a good thing for the islanders.
But that's definitely not true for him!
The doctors at the clinic must have been hired by my uncle from outside at great expense; they are definitely more capable than him in every way.
Zhang Chen was well aware of how many people his arrogant attitude had offended in the past.
But he used to act recklessly because he was the only doctor here.
Anyway, no matter how much you eat, you'll get sick eventually, and when you do, you'll definitely need his help.
But now that the clinic is established, he will definitely be the one who gets abandoned!
"Do you have any other questions?"
The islanders looked at Zhang Chen with a slightly evasive gaze when they saw his distraught appearance.
He did dislike Zhang Chen, but he felt a little embarrassed seeing him like this.
Zhang Chen didn't know what the islanders were thinking. He suppressed his anxiety and fear and asked about Xu Haiyu.
"What exactly did she do to deserve being sent away?"
The islanders were too lazy to cover for Xu Haiyu and simply told him what had happened the night before.
If Xu Haiyu were still alive, he would know what backlash and boomerangs are.
She had specifically hired a few gossips to spread bad news about Xinli as quickly as possible.
Those people aren't inherently bad; they just love gossip and exaggerate things.
That's why Xinli became infamous in such a short time.
Xu Haiyu is the same.
When Zhang Chen heard the islanders say that Xu Haiyu had pulled the woman's hand and stuffed it into his clothes, Zhang Chen's face turned green.
"How could she... how could she do this?"
The islander sighed, "What's impossible about it?"
"Anyway, the fact that she's only been sent away is already a lenient outcome. Don't even think about causing trouble; she's not going to be brought back."
After saying that, the islander left.
Zhang Chen returned home looking utterly dejected.
I thought no one would bother me anymore, but I didn't expect to see Xinli come over the next day.
Zhang Chen hadn't fully processed Xu Haiyu's matter when he suddenly saw Xin Li's face, and both old and new grudges surged into his heart.
If it weren't for Xin Li, how could he have lost Xu Haiyu?
If it weren't for Xinli, how could he have angered his uncle, and his uncle wouldn't have accelerated the establishment of the clinic!
He had clearly promised Shushu that he could take care of everyone's illnesses on the island by himself, and that he could treat even minor ailments like headaches and fevers, so there was no need for a clinic.
But now my uncle has secretly finalized the health clinic deal behind my back, which shows that my uncle has made up his mind.
It's all Xin Li's fault. How dare she show her face after being the culprit!
What are you doing here?
Zhang Chen looked at Xin Li with displeasure, his eyes filled with raging anger.
Xin Li frowned. She didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Chen. Why did he look at her like he was cross-eyed?
"I'm here to collect family planning supplies."
If Sister-in-law Lu hadn't told her that all family planning supplies could be picked up from Zhang Chen, she really wouldn't have bothered coming.
Zhang Chen and Xu Haiyu are both selfish and only care about themselves. Xin Li really doesn't want to deal with people like that.
"Family planning supplies? You and He Mingzhou..."
Zhang Chen's face was extremely pale.
"Xiaoyu was sent away yesterday, and you still had the mind to do that? Xinli, have you no shame? Is your heart made of stone?"
Xinli: "?"
Is this person alright?
"What does this have to do with you?"
